Lj's Skinny Garlic Prawn Pasta





Ingredients:

10 Medium Green Prawns (Peeled & Cleaned) 
1 Packet of Slendier Slim Spaghetti
1 Tin of Light and Creamy Carnation Milk
1 Tablespoon of Cornflour
1 Thick slice of Fresh Lemon plus a squeeze more of the juice
2 Fresh Garlic Cloves finely chopped
Fresh Chopped Parsley
Sprinkle of Parmesan if you wish to serve.


What to do:

Heat a non stick pan and add the Garlic and Lemon. Prepare the spaghetti as per the packet instructions (takes about 2 minutes, it is basically drain, rinse, throw in boiling water for a minute then drain again)
Add the prawns cooking on one side until you can just see them starting to change colour then flip them over. Add half of the carnation milk, extra squeeze of Lemon and bring to a simmer. Mix the cornflour well into the other half of the Carnation milk and add to the pan. Stir while simmering until the sauce is thick and add the parsley right at the end. Season with Cracked Pepper and Seas Salt. I like to use Murray River Salt Flakes. Turn off the heat and mix through the pasta.. Sprinkle with Parmesan if you wish.  That's it! Pretty much healthy dinner in under 15 minutes if that including prep time. 

Slendier is not for everyone, if you don't like it cook regular pasta before you start cooking the prawns. Rice spaghetti is also a nice alternative. Either way it is still a much healthier alternative to traditional creamy pasta :-)

Fried Rice with Prawns & Bacon


Quick & Easy Lunch Menu today...
Very easy to throw together last minute...

I've heated the frypan with a splash of olive oil and sauteed some diced red onion, carrot, mushrooms, zucchini, red capsicum and garlic. Thrown in some diced bacon and saute until soft. In the meantime cook the rice. I do mine in the microwave, 1 cup rice to 2 1/2 cups of boiling water and cook for 12 minutes. (Add some powdered chicken stock or vegetta to the water) Throw in the cooked rice and toss through with some some cooked prawns, frozen baby peas and corn.  I've added some cracked pepper and sea salt, some soy sauce and a splash of lemon/lime juice.

It is also nice with some diced cooked chicked added as well!

Seafood basket with Garlic & Seeded Mustard Aioli

Our Seafood Basket for dinner was lovely! Cod, prawns and calamari in Beer Batter with Garlic & Seeded Mustard Aioli.And don't forget the home made chips!  The prawns and the calamari were delicious and tender but I wasn't that wrapped on the fish. We really need a decent fresh fish market here! To make the beer batter... Whisk 1 Cup Flour, 1 Egg, 1 Cup of Beer and season with salt. The Aioli Recipe was a new one I tried from taste.com Aioli Recipe
